Thing is these gays can say what they want but neither the xbox 360 ps3 or pc is pushed to the limit on the majoirty of games that come out for it i want to see a high level of game released quality shell i say on ps3/360 before devs etc start talking about how weak and consoles and pc's are the majorit of devs still making shit ps3 games i mean home front for ps3 could look so much more better and still perform well not sure aout the 3690 so i won't go there

Years back I kept paying for hardware for little extra performance. But back then hardware was expensive as hell. So i gave up on that.

Now I got myself a decent pc that can run games on 1080p ( I don't need more, my 52" won't go beyond that LOL) without any problem. I started buying more PC games than console games. I'm playing Games on my HD-tv (trough HDMI) with Gamepad. And I already know that I do not have to upgrade it until a couple of years from now.

Then don't get one every second year. Or, but a regular PC for productivity (work, web, etc etc) put a $150 video card in it and voila. You are good for several years without forking over for an overpriced gaming PC. It won't be as powerful as a high tier PC, but it'll destroy any console.

However, Usually the hardware parts that are bought could be working less optimized if combined with the wrong hardware.

I think this it he main problem though. Sometimes it isn't just a video card upgrade. Usually it could involve people to buy a new Mobo or Power supply. Which would make it tedious for those who aren't familiar with computers. They have to ask someone to fix it for them, and usually they ask money for it as well.

Many people still have something from years back because buying a new pc is not their priority.

Installing a new video card or ram is not hard or difficult. But I think they panic due all the numbers and figures that represents hardware and the relation to said hardware it would be installed on.

Well, there are two types of gamers. Those, who are passionate about new PC technology, tune their PCs, read a lot about PC hardware, and generaly know which graphic card series is better than the other, and I know its not rocket science to upgrade a RAM or GPU. Then there is the other group, people who dont have the time to care, or simply dont care what a RAM is. These people aint stupid, they just dont care. They want to buy a box, pop a disc and play. Both groups are okay, they just divide their priorities differently. Oh, there is but one group. Fanboys. They, for some reason, have the need to tell everyone, that their choice is the most logical of all. This group is the stupidest. Maybe im stating the obvious here, but once you realise there is more than just your platform, you stopped being a fanboy, and you become a GAMER.

Man...consoles will eventually become like pcs in many ways, I mean I can Imagine something like a simple expansion bay on the back of the units and after every 5 years a new plug and play upgrade graphics/memory/sound combo card releases for that much needed upgrade. These will likely put pc gaming to shame if they are sold for a friction of the price of some of todays best graphics card, thus making it easy for people to understand accept and use.

The upgrades of course could be sold via new skus, or simply purchased like stand alone hard disk drives at a local gamestop. And that should about do it really.

If you can't afford a $3000 gaming PC then shut up and quit crying about it and go get a job or go buy a $500 gaming Pc and be just as happy.

I hate when people talk bad about high end gaming PC's or Enthusiast Gamers like myself who have no problem spending money on their FAVORITE HOBBY. I'm not rich so i do what i can to make sure i can support my hobby.

I never hear people talk bad about Ferrari's or Lamborghini's and those are very expensive. No one says High Class Escorts are bad i rather have a $10 crack whore. No one says why buy a $20 Steak when you can eat off the dollar menu. but mention PC Gaming and OMG!! it's so expensive, i can't afford it, PC Gamers are geeks, you gotta buy new hardware every ten minutes, I don't know a PSu from a GPU.

everyone here wants a super duper Gaming PC but don't understand the tech or can't afford the hardware but it's no reason to dog a lifestyle that you may not understand.

A pc worth 3000 dollars ...a bit too much imo. For less you can get excellent performance for games these days. I think when you tell others you can buy a pc worth 3000 you could give the uninformed it needs to be 3000 dollar to be good... Managing that much money for your hobby is great, but people have other priorities. No one is bashing you for your 3000 dollar spending. Go buy yourself expensive hardware. HURRAY!

"I never hear people talk bad about Ferrari's or Lamborghini's and those are very expensive"

I don't think anyone here owns such car ( might be a few ) but the topic at hand is not "Expensive Cars". Its about games. Hence the reason you do not hear sh/t about it. ( same goes for your other examples)

"everyone here wants a super duper Gaming PC but don't understand the tech or can't afford the hardware but it's no reason to dog a lifestyle that you may not understand."

They do want a super duper pc, but because they know little of it they make BAD DECISIONS which ends up making them buy upgrades every 6 months. They do not want this. And the noobs in a computer store don't help either. They just talk the talk so they can sell you anything. If they truly wanted a 3000 dollar pc they would safe up for it ( i mean 3000...then it must be a good pc right?)..but to call it a dog life style because its not their highest priority? Or the fact they don't make enough money to even support their hobby? Or the fact that their priorities are somewhere else? I think you kinda crossed the line there. You are being arrogant and ignorant.

If its really your hobby and you want others to enjoy it too, you help them and INFORM them. Instead you are just crying over the ignorance thats going around.

I can see them saying this. But I am very glad I switched to console gaming. With my PC I was upgrading a video card just about every year just to push more polygons, meh... forget it. I am happy with my 360 and PS3. I am ready for a new console though.
